A charming and spacious cottage, well-equipped and tastefully designed. Surrounded by quiet rural landscapes, it provides the perfect base for a peaceful and restorative stay in Suffolk. Marion and Kevin were very helpful and friendly. The hot tub was a great addition; it is wood fired so requires some preparations but once you get the hang of it and after the water warms up, in the following days it gets easier to operate.

We had a really wonderful stay at The Calf Pens. There was so much attention to detail that we wanted for nothing. It was clean, comfortable, extremely well laid out and had plenty of books and board games to entertain us. The owners had carefully and thoughtfully put together interesting places to visit and provided information for local pubs/restaurants. All these touches enabled us to have a relaxing stay. We loved our evening strolls around the adjoining farmland and lakes, just beyond the garden. We were lucky to see so many bats and dragonflies, plus many varieties of birds in the wo...more

We spent a midweek in the Aspen Loft and had a truly delightful experience. The accommodation is wonderfully cosy, with charming and colourful decoration that instantly makes you feel at home. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need and the garden is an absolute gem, romantic with a wide view across the surrounding landscape. The hosts welcomed us with genuine warmth (and their gentle dogs added an extra touch of joy). Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax in a peaceful countryside setting.

This is our fourth year in a row at this beautiful mill. Each time we always look forward to seeing buzzards, kites, deer,hares and plenty of butterflies. This year, wonderful weather meant we didn't spend much time indoors, although waking up in that comfortable bed and looking through the open stable door was heaven.

The Hayloft is extremely well presented, with a blend of the old, retro, new features and decor. The location is perfect for walks, sightseeing and discovering the local history. What made it extra special for me was the fact that i am a massive fan of the Lovejoy TV series from days gone past. to be able to stay in his workshop, in the grounds of Belchamp / Felsham Hall, was a dream come true. Would highly recommend a stay there. Thank you for making it part of a perfect experience.

We wanted a long weekend base for ourselves, our daughter, husband and 2 very small grandchildren (aged 2 and a baby aged 10 weeks) and their friends to join us - it delivered on every front. The house is an Elizabethan gem, a privilege to stay in, surrounded by a moat, which adds to the uniqueness. The grounds are beautiful - particularly around the house and summer house - with lovely lavender and roses, in full bloom. The pool was used every day - warm and inviting to everyone - and great to sit around. Billy was really helpful on arrival - standing in to cover another of the team's hol...more

The cottage is in the centre of Boxford, a lovely village with all amenities (2 pubs, 2 shops, post office, cafe, butcher, village hall) only a minute or two away by foot. Everything about the cottage is done to an excellent standard. It is well equipped with everything you need and was spotless. The bed was super comfy and both the bedding and towels were of high quality. The courtyard furniture and umbrella were great for alfresco drinks and food (we were lucky to coincide with a heatwave). Great location, great cottage - would definitely book again.

What an outstanding place to stay. The Temple was stunning in spacious wonderful grounds. The building and furnishings were fantastic , and we couldn’t have asked for more. It was a brilliant place for a family holiday. Idyllic Cottages staff and the estate staff were friendly and very helpful. Definitely a great place to stay.

Our recent stay at The Tryst in Lavenham was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment we stepped through its ancient doorway, we were transported to a bygone era, yet enveloped in a comfort that made our rural getaway absolutely perfect. The Tryst itself is a magnificent example of Lavenham's incredible heritage. As one of the village's oldest homes, this Grade 1 Listed property showcases traditional mid-15th Century timber-framed architecture at its finest. Every corner reveals historic features, some even dating back to the Elizabethan age, allowing you to genuinely "step back into th...more

Higham has no facilities but nearby are all practical shopping requirements for self-catering. Highly recommended (excuse the near-pun).

Duke's lodge is simply lovely and cosy with a well equipped kitchen/dining room and very comfortable beds. Quirky as can be so mind your head. Ceilings are high enough but the doorframes...... Located (almost) on the village market square and at crawling distance to two great pubs. Sunday lunch at the Crown was perfect. Walks aplenty e.g. to the nearby village of Chelsworth with also a great pub. Suffolk is very nice and picturesque with lots of things to see and do within a half hour's drive. Bury st. Edmunds is a nice place to shop. Lavenham is our favourite medieval village in the area. We ...more
